West Coast Paracord's Natural Bamboo Rods are a perfect alternative to wooden dowels. These bamboo rods are organic and sustainable as well as strong and durable. With the naturally toned texture, they can be easily used as a complimentary base for wall hangings, towel racks, or straight bag handles. Each one is stained to a rich natural reed, this color coordinates well with wooden accents such as maple, pine, and walnut. Because each natural bamboo rod has its own unique markings, no two rods will be the same. This is an organic and sustainable solution for an eco-friendlier solution to wooden dowels and because of that, thickness may slightly vary. Each dowel is 12 inches (30.48 cm) and are roughly 5/8 inch (15.88 cm) in thickness. The package contains two 12 inch natural bamboo rods.
